Small House,Tight Budget=No Birthday Party?
Ok,so I am in desperate need of advise and ideas. My husband's birthday is coming up very soon and I would love to do something nice for him. We live in a small 3 bedroom house with some backyard space. However, I really do not want to host a gathering at my house because of the size of my husbands family. It consists of 8 adults and 11 children all under the age of 10! So just his family alone plus us would already make 20 people! Not to mention I do not have alot of patience with children and it does not help that their parents let them run around like wild animals. Of course I would love to invite my family as well to celebrate they are a party of 5. So that would make 25 guests. Now since I am aware of my patience level I had planned to rent a private room at a restaurant to celebrate my hubby's birthday. I thought it would be the solution. No cooking or cleaning afterwards and nothing in my house would get broken by children! Unfortunately,to have such luxuries would rack up a bill of about 400 dollars at the restaurant! After speaking with my husband he does not like the idea of spending so much for his birthday.( I agree,we are trying to save.) He suggested inviting everyone to the restaurant and have each family pay for their own meal. I find this very tacky and embarrassing. Now I have no idea what to do. I want to celebrate my husbands birthday and make him feel special on his day. But we cannot come to an agreement. Any ideas of what I could do? Help Please!

No kids, cocktails and hors d' oeuvres.In other words an adult party. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe make it for 8pm. Don't people have adult parties anymore?
